On the morning of Sunday 20 February 1916 two friends, George Castle and Cecil Pedlar, were walking along The Beach when there was a surprise air raid. The first bombs landed in the sea, moments later another ‘fell with a blinding flash at their feet,’ killing George aged 16, and seriously injuring Cecil, aged 17.
